Ver. 5. They were baptized] That is, say some, they were re-baptized, because baptized before in a wrong name. Therefore Paul first catechiseth them, Act_19:4. Others say that it was rather their renewing to their baptism than their baptism to them; and not that they took any other than that of John, but that they now began to entertain and apply it to the right intent.
